Chicago’s Spirit Just Made It to the Vatican: My Pope Drinks Malort Shirt – Honor the First American Pope and the City’s Most Infamous Drink. When white smoke rose above the Sistine Chapel on May 8, 2025, the world waited in breathless anticipation — and when the name “Robert Prevost” was announced, the city of Chicago erupted. The 69-year-old native son had just become Pope Leo XIV, the first American ever to lead the Catholic Church. While the Vatican prepared for tradition and reverence, Chicago got ready in its own way: by printing up the boldest, funniest shirt of the year — “My Pope Drinks Malört.”
My Pope Drinks Malort Shirt – Blend Papal History and Chicago Humor
If you’re unfamiliar with Malört, you’re probably not from Chicago. This notorious local liqueur is a rite of passage — known as much for its brutal bitterness as for the unspoken bond it forms between those brave enough to take a shot. Now, it’s become the unofficial symbol of a city claiming one of its own has reached the highest of holy offices.
This My Pope Drinks Malort Shirt doesn’t mock — it celebrates. It’s the voice of a city that loves hard, laughs louder, and can’t help but find humor in the monumental. And let’s face it: imagining Pope Leo XIV knocking back a Malört after Mass is exactly the kind of down-to-earth visual that makes us love him even more.
Available in a full range of sizes for men, women, and youth, and in multiple styles and colors, this shirt is more than a gag gift. It’s a conversation piece. It’s a cultural crossover. It’s your way of saying, “Yes, I’m Catholic. Yes, I’m from Chicago. And yes — I’ve survived a shot of Malört.”
So whether you’re gifting it to your priest with a sense of humor, wearing it to your next church fundraiser, or just adding it to your collection of Chicago memorabilia, one thing’s clear: this My Pope Drinks Malort Shirt is more than just a T-shirt. It’s history, humor, and holy spirit — all in one.
